The answer is Chemical

Chemical weathering involves the decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions between minerals such as calcite with water and gases in the atmosphere (e.g. carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide). The solution of soluble minerals is particularly important in limestone landscapes.
